Jeanne was pregnant at the time and left behind a one-year-old daughter. It is precisely starting from his figure and from reading a passage from the “Canti di Maldoror”, the book that Modigliani always kept with him, that the docu-film opens which also draws inspiration from the exhibition “Modigliani - Picasso.
